Time was passing bit by bit. He had already treated three bone injury patients, but there was still no sign of Doctor Xu.
What could he be doing?
Doctor Xu has always been a man of few words, never divulging personal matters even to Li Jingsheng.
This is how it should be in the workplace.
Colleagues should not share too much personal information, or it may backfire on them.
"Doctor, could you take a look at me? My shoulder hurts a lot, especially when I put it down like this," an elderly lady supported by a refined woman in her thirties said.
She should be her daughter.
A daughter-in-law wouldn’t be so intimate when bringing her mother-in-law for a doctor’s visit.
Moreover, the mother and daughter’s faces share some resemblance.
However, the young woman, possibly due to her vast knowledge, work-honed abilities, scientifically balanced nutrition, and good mindset, appears particularly distinguished.
She looks very attractive and charming.
In terms of looks, she would score around 85 points.
It must be said, "one’s appearance reflects one’s heart" seems to have some scientific basis.
When a person is doing well at work, income is stable, and they have an optimistic mindset, their appearance and demeanor naturally look good. Conversely, if faced with major changes and in a state of downfall and decadence, they will appear entirely devoid of charisma.
If it’s a woman, she will likely look quite unattractive.
"Please, have a seat!" Li Jingsheng led the patient to a chair.
Calling her an old lady is a bit much; she looks to be just over fifty.
But her spirit is far worse than her daughter’s.
Her body seems a bit plump, with at least two or three rolls of fat around her waist, and her skin is loose.
"Do you have any X-rays or something?"
"A whole bunch! I’ve seen several hospitals, and all I met were quack doctors. I clearly have an ailment, but they insist there’s nothing wrong. They just do all sorts of checks, it really ticks me off."
The female patient’s words were quite sharp.
Li Jingsheng remained expressionless, having encountered all kinds of patients before.
He’s met plenty of patients who love to criticize.
"Let me see the films."
Li Jingsheng took a look at the patient’s examination materials; blood and urine tests did not reveal any significant problems.
"Your blood lipids and blood sugar are a bit high. You need to control that!"
Li Jingsheng reviewed them and promptly reminded the patient.
"You doctors have so many rules, can’t eat this, can’t touch that. I’ve never believed in these things. Eat when you should, drink when you should, and haven’t had a problem all these years."
The female patient’s mindset really matched her demeanor.
"My mother has always been like this, never listens to advice. She’s always so straightforward, Doctor, please don’t mind her."
The daughter apologized to Li Jingsheng on behalf of her mother.
"I don’t mind. You children can take more care of her."
